[Properties of beta-glucosidase from the fungus Geotrichum candidum 3C].
The ability of beta-glucosidase from the fungus Geotrichum candidum 3C to degrade cell oligosaccharides, disaccharides and glycosides was examined. It was demonstrated that the rate of enzymic hydrolysis of  cell oligosaccharides depended on the length of the substrate chain. The major product was glucose. The beta-glucosidase purified showed high specificity towards beta-glucopyranosyl and degraded only the glucosides which incorporated beta-glucopyranosyl. The enzyme had a relatively low specificity towards aglycon, and hydrolyzed both disaccharides and aryl-glucosides. The enzyme also showed traansglycosylase activity.
